Pennsylvania,'-have 11d I; hereby dec a e that, the ullfiandiexact descriptiontherebe ng, had to the-drawings; in

resents the smart 2 or f oily sub- 7 soft and porous wood,

inch wide, and one fourth Baum gravity.

ita

apply on the one side a paste consisting of crocus and Vermilion powder, mixed with mutton-suet and beeswax, and on the other side I apply a paste the ingredients of which are plumbago, lamp-black, mutton-suet, and bees-wax, and I protect the strop with a metallic sheath. I

The base being soft and porous, and thoroughly saturated with the oil, and being covered with the paste herein described, becomes self-lubricating, and the metallic case, being a non-absorbent, preserves a complete moisture, and produces a neat, durable, and effective razor-strop.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to protect and secure by Letters Patent, is-'- The wooden base coated with an abrasive composition, stance, and covered with a metallic sheath, as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
